Select the amount of years you want to register the name for, and if you'd like to set it as your wallets Primary name during the registration process and then click Next.

#### For more information about what the Primary name does, see <a href="#h_a347bc2041" id="h_a347bc2041"></a>

Registering an ENS name is a three step process

1. Request to Register\
   ​\_A 0ETH commit transaction to prevent front-running\_\
   ​
2. Wait 60 Seconds\
   ​\_A 60 second waiting time\_\
   ​
3. Register\
   ​\_The actual Registration transaction\_

### Step 1: Request to register <a href="#h_0307197369" id="h_0307197369"></a>

<figure><img src="https://3012111568-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fn4PkwKyPvID2082agde0%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-470e5e3deeb6c8a03bbf4beaa2fb3c0734dd0704%2Fimage%20(12).png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

While this transaction does not have a transaction value, it still incurs a gas fee.

Click Request to Register to start Step 1 of the registration process. A 0 ETH transaction is performed where your name is hashed with a secret key so that no one else can view the name you're trying to register.

#### Keep in mind <a href="#h_2e5a6e6af3" id="h_2e5a6e6af3"></a>

* This step stores a _secret key_ in your browser's local storage. To avoid having to repeat this step, make sure to _not_ clear your cache or switch browsers.\
  ​
* You have _1 day_ to complete Step 3 before the Request to Register transaction expires. _However,_ the ENS name is _not reserved for you_ during this time.

Double-check that the registration length and fees are satisfactory, then press Begin to start the registration process
